Our Lives--The Chapters and The Days

The days of our lives can easily be equated to the pages of a novel.
Our days, pages. Years, chapters.
And the entirety of our existence, the novel itself.

As with all good books, there are the good chapters, the boring ones, the ones that are so sad, we hide them at the back of our minds, never to be remembered because of the pain they caused.
And the ones that we call the highlights of our lives.
Every novel has these things.
Every life has them too.
But no matter how good a chapter is, eventually its shadows grow long on the walls as it comes to a close.
The Figures retreat and characters return to base, done for the time being. Waiting for the next life shaker to come around.
I now am Thinking about the last one and remembering what a tremor it caused. An earthquake of magnitude unknown to man.
The lingering memories, bitter sweet, take leisurely strolls through my head, urging me to go back to the chapter one more time.
Time scolding and driving us forward. What's in the past is in the past. But what a chapter it was.
Filled with all the makings of a master piece and capable of consuming a man whole and depositing him in the realm of pure glory and bliss.
A little slice of God's realm handed down to us for a short time.
The highlights are what we all look forward to in this perpetual vortex we call life.
The highlights are important because they are reminders of tranquility, the glory days past and a promise of better days ahead.

And the saddest part is that some people go their entire lives without making the most of their highlights.
Their lives tell a bland tale of forgettable yesterdays and unexceptional tomorrows...
I wonder how these people do it, with lives so blank and unfulfilled, like a book that was never finished.

What i'm trying to say is, learn to find the highlights, learn to appreciate them and learn to make the most of them because nothing lasts for ever and regret is a sword that cuts deep. Make the most of life and let your story be remembered as one of the best sellers of your time.
Be your own best seller author, with the stories your life tell, from every chapter, to everyday.
